Anti-Abortion "Freedom Riders" Clash With Black Women At MLK's Grave

ATLANTA — A Catholic anti-abortion group used the site of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s grave on Saturday for a large rally to protest against legalized abortion.

“Martin Luther King, Jr. was an advocate for the oppressed, and no one is more oppressed than the 52 million unborn children who have been killed in the womb,” said Denis Wilde, the Associate Director of Priests for Life, and an Augustinian priest. “The womb is the most dangerous place to live.”

When the “Pro Life Freedom Ride” bus reached Atlanta, there was a group of pro-choice protesters from the groups SisterSong, SPARK, and SisterLove waiting there to meet them. The pro-choice groups chanted “Trust black women!” and “Can’t Re-Write History!” through a megaphone.
